Equipment
- 1 Bowls for serving
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper
- Saucepan
- Skillet
Ingredients
- 1 cup quinoa rinsed
- 2 cup water
- 1 sweet potato peeled and cubed
- 1 avocado sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
- 2 cup kale de-stemmed and chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- pepper
For the Dressing:
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2-4 tbsp warm water to thin
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Quinoa Preparation: In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed quinoa, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
- Sweet Potato: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss the cubed sweet potato in olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread it out on the baking sheet. Roast for about 25-30 minutes or until tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
- Kale & Chickpeas: While the sweet potato is roasting, heat a skillet over medium heat with a tablespoon of olive oil. Add the kale and chickpeas, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until the kale is wilted and chickpeas are slightly crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
- Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together tahini, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Gradually add warm water until you reach a pourable consistency.
- Assembly: Divide the cooked quinoa between two bowls. Arrange the roasted sweet potato, sautéed kale and chickpeas, avocado slices, and cherry tomatoes beautifully around the quinoa. Drizzle with the tahini dressing.
- Serve: Share this nourishing bowl with your loved one, basking in the beauty of your creation and the depth of your connection.
